Coated Steel Market Overview
The Global Coated Steel Market is estimated to reach at a high CAGR during the forecast period 2023-2030. Coated steel has an additional layer of materials to protect it from rusting and give an aesthetic appearance and food safety. The materials which are used for coating are either organic or metallic materials. Generally, a coating layer is added to flat steel when they are in coil form. Coated steel is a highly lucrative market with a wide range of applications in different industries, including automobile, construction, white goods and food industry. Growing urbanization and a rising population are developing markets for coated steel products in the construction sector. According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs study, around 55% of the global population lives in urban areas. Moreover, new investments in the coated steel are being carried out mainly in Asia, followed by the US. For instance, Chinese steelmaker Chengde has installed an HDG plant with 0.4 million tons/year capacity.

Coated Steel Market Dynamics and Trends
Growing demand from construction and building components is expected to drive the coated steel market
The use of coated steel for building applications, compared to other materials, allows the creation of functional and beautiful buildings that meet high environmental and quality requirements. Coated steels are lightweight, have high strength and highly durable. These properties help to short construction times and easy handling on the construction site.
Moreover, Buildings made from coated steel provide safe and sustainable climate protection with meagre maintenance costs. Nowadays, steel is 100 % recyclable without any loss of quality. Hence it can be re-melted and processed into new steel products.
The construction industry continues to expand owing to urbanization and a strong economy, and favourable market fundamentals for commercial real estate. For instance, according to the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) study, the global construction industry is expected to reach USD 8 trillion by 2030, driven by China, the United States and India.
Henceforth, increasing coated steel applications in construction and building components and the growing construction sector is expected to drive the coated steel market over the forecast period.
Disadvantages related to galvanized steel is expected to restrain the coated steel market
Galvanized steel often hides significant defects beneath the zinc coating on the steel. Galvanized steel pipes also sometimes contain lead, which corrodes quickly and reduces the lifespan of the piping. Moreover, the steel leaves rough patches inside pipes, resulting in severe failures and stoppages that can be expensive to repair.
Because of these issues, most modern homes use copper piping as an alternative.
Coated Steel Market Segmentation Analysis
Based on type, coated steel market is segmented metallic coated, organic coated and tinplate.
Metallic coated steel is expected to dominate the market because of its extensive application in building and construction, automobile and other different industries.
Metallic coated sheets are corrosion resistant, coated typically with zinc in pure or alloyed forms. There are several metallic coating methods in which most of the steel companies use the Hot-dip Galvanization (HDG) process. Hot-dip galvanizing is a coating steel method with zinc or its alloy by putting steel in its molten bath. The bath is prepared above the melting point of zinc or zinc alloy ranging around 820-860⁰F.
Metallic coated steel is widely used in applications where the material is exposed to the corrosive environment during the application, such as air conditioners, outdoor electrical boxes, laundry appliances, refrigerators, roofing sheets, vehicle parts and many others.
Moreover, Hot-dip galvanized sheets are also used in coastal infrastructures because of their non-vulnerability to a salty environment. For instance, the American Institute of Architect strongly recommends using these sheets in the 5km range of coastal areas.
Global Coated Steel Market Geographical Analysis
Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the coated steel market over the forecast period
Asia-Pacific has the largest steel-producing capacity, providing huge raw materials for coated steel. As per World Steel Association, Asia produced 1,374.9 Mt of crude steel in 2020, with an increase of 1.5% compared to 2019. China’s crude steel production in 2020 reached 1,053.0 Mt, up by 5.2% in 2019. In addition, China’s share of global crude steel production increased from 53.3% in 2019 to 56.5% in 2020.
Moreover, the growing demand for coated steel in the building & construction industry drives the global market. For instance, according to the Statistics Bureau Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan, the country spent US$ 30,380 billion on building & construction in 2017; of this, US$ 16,570 billion was spent on residential buildings and US$ 13,810 billion on non-residential buildings.
Hence, increasing building and construction and potential raw material in the region is expected to dominate the coated steel market.
